Newman is a frequent contributor to news outlets, with opinion pieces appearing in The Christian Science Monitor, The Sunday Telegraph and The Chicago Tribune. He has appeared on nationally syndicated talk shows in the U.S. and Britain on several occasions, including NPR and BBC, as well as other media outlets in Europe and Asia.

He is a member of Phi Kappa Phi (and past president), Beta Gamma Sigma and Sigma Iota Epsilon.

In 1993, Newman received the Ehrenring (Ring of Honor) from the Austrian Advertising Research Association in Vienna for his research in political marketing and is the first American recipient of the award.

In March 1995, Newman was invited to the White House to advise senior aides to President Clinton on communication strategy. He subsequently met with President Clinton's senior aides on several occasions at the White House, carrying out research studies over a one and one-half year period. In May 1999, Bruce met with former President Lech Walesa and his top aides in Poland to advise him on his presidential run in 2000.
